As always, the New year brings in a bunch of new events to look forward to. Whether its your mom’s birthday or your favorite music festival, a new year means you’ll get to experience both all over again. For those of us with the itch, this means that we will be planning our spring break to coincide with The Winter Music Conference and Ultra Music Festival. You know, that time of the year when anyone who is anybody in electronic music decides that its a good time to hang out in Miami for the week.

According to Festival Outlook the 2010 schedule is looking as follows…

A-Trak, Above & Beyond, Afrobeta, Alex Metric, Armin van Buren, ATB, Bassbin Twins vs. Uberzone, Bassnectar, The Bloody Beetroots, Carl Cox, Crookers, The Crystal Method, Deadmau5, Diplo, The Disco Biscuits, Dirty South, Eddie Halliwell, Eric Prydz, Evil Nine, Faithless Sound System, Felix da Housecat, Freeland, Ghostland Observatory, The Glitch Mob, Green Velvet, Groove Armada, Infected Mushroom, Kevens, Lotus, LTJ Bukem, Major Lazer, Plump DJs, Pretty Lights, Rabbit in the Moon (3D), Rusko, Skream, Steve Aoki, Swedish House Mafia, Tiesto, Will.i.am

So do the smart thing and purchase your tickets for the festival or any other parties you plan on attending asap to avoid paying/scalping them day of show. Yeah i know it might seem unauthentic or a waste of money to actually pay to see the biggest names in guido-trance but once you’ve had the experience, seen the people, heard the speaker rigs that tower your parents’ house, and kicked it to the biggest names in the industry, you won’t be upset.

Here is a video from my favorite set from last year.

The Paragraph – In Review

The Paragraph played to a near capacity crowd at Spank on Saturday night. This was the first show I had seen at Spank since its transformation from Side Bar. The management had set up a nice stage platform for them to get the dance party started from. For those of you who haven’t been to Spank/Side Bar the stage area at the back of the venue is now a dj booth equipped with a retro car hood. This proved interesting as all of The Paragraph’s drums were being run off of Ableton Live from their drummer at the booth.

Honestly, walking into the club from the patio area I was oblivious to the fact that a live band was playing. It was not until leaving the bathroom that I noticed a bunch of commotion and dancing brewing near the front bar. After making my way over to where the band was playing I was impressed with the funk and soul jam that came next. The Paragraph’s sound was somewhere between James Brown commanding you to dance and put your hands up and an electro driven dance party. Throw in some fuzzy bass licks and distorted guitar solos and you have something that sounds unique and looks like this.

The Paragraph came down from New York to play a couple of shows around Florida. I will be looking forward to see where they are headed next as these guys definitely put together a solid set of live dance music.
